A review from the perspective of a high-school student (Grades 9-12): DSC maintains a great and diverse school environment that fosters creativity, self-expression, collaboration, and challenges students to think critically. DSC offers a Canadian curriculum, granting graduating students the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, which provides a multitude of courses that students may select from throughout their high-school years, allowing them to deepen their interests in specific fields and explore many interesting and unique subjects. The teaching revolves around technology, exposing students to fields of IT from an early age in primary school, and progresses into more in-depth applications of technology in multiple courses. Although the school's facilities are relatively mediocre, it is undergoing renovations for improvements and additions to create a more modern and hands-on learning environment, providing tech and art studios, laboratories, a kitchen, drama rooms, and more to come. Although quite small compared to some other international schools, it is in a very accessible location and can be convenient to enter nearby shops, malls, and food courts during lunch dismissal. In terms of sports, the school is working on expanding its participation across several sports in ISSFHK, and has recently invested more effort into strengthening its sport extracurriculars due to greater interest from students. There is a large outdoor courtyard with three basketball courts and a running track around it, but lacks any further facilities as indoor gyms are small and are reserved for the lower years. The school life in general is rather good, and it is easy to communicate with others and make friends as peers make efforts to be friendly and welcoming. A guidance division is put in place to aid students in course selection and help them prepare for their post-secondary education, which is a valuable source for those approaching graduation. There are a variety of teachers capable of teaching many different fields, and most are passionate, dedicated, and committed to the quality of students' education. Overall, DSC International School is an excellent candidate for any student looking for an environment that will help them develop their skills and creativity, providing them with an inclusive education to ensure their success in their future.

A great school with a very caring school environment! Canadian curriculum offers an all-rounded education program that students can develop not just academically, but also based on their personal interest, I find this very important as nothing is more important than the happiness of the child.

~BARE WITH ME AND READ PLEASE~ Academics here are good, lots to learn an explore together. Unfortunately, there are also some problems with finding my place but I am okay now. My Favorite year was grade 5. The beginning of AP (Alternative program). This school will get you obsessed over the great people inside. Teachers are so amazing, they don't hit you or harm you. You have freedom that is also maintained well. Such as you can go out to eat when you are in secondary up, year 8/grade 7 to year 13/grade 12. This school is fantastic, you would feel just as home by the warmness you receive. The school has so many activities like Fun Fairs, Casual dress day that you can donate money for charity, Halloween dances and parties and lots more. They even wish you happy birthday. We also have houses in AP section and homeroom houses in secondary, which if your a big fan of Harry Potter, you might like. As you know now, because of the pandemic, some schools are having problems. But DSC handles it very well! We have online learning, the teachers are trying their best to support you. Learning is still very fun. You still receive the knowledge you need but also receive the ability to adapt to online learning and change. Thank you so much for your help teachers. Re-considering other things here I want to thank you my teachers and friends; Friends from Class 7-1 Spirits (We get to make our own class logo, mines this year was Spirits), Mrs. Marans (Teacher in grade 5-6AP), Ms. Melnikov (Ms. Mel, also teacher in grade 5), Mr. Softly, Mr. L. Hendrickse. And all my other teacher! If you ever come to this school, you will be greeted with a warm welcome. You will have the best time of your life, learning, discovering, finding friends but also, most importantly, having a terrific, fantastic childhood all the way to your teenage stage. (Delia School of Canada is also open to a lot of university around the world). P.S. - (People that say this school sucks or its bad, I am surprise because this school is awesome and if you guys who never went to this school, come and see for yourself you and would agree. I don't hate your opinion though, everyone's opinion matter, human rights ❤) Thanks for my years here, thanks for my years to come. ~Your Present DSC Student (I'm in secondary now)

I used to come to Hong Kong and I was in 2nd grade the facilities here are good but the teachers, teachers are so strict and it was a unbearable experience I was glad I was able to come back to my own country since the schools here have better teachers that use fun and educational way of learning.
